Mourinho was sent to the stands by referee Anthony Taylor after losing his cool about what he perceived to be Cardiff's time-wasting at Stamford Bridge.
The nature of the offence means Mourinho is most likely to face a fine, rather than a ban, and the Football Association has given the Portuguese until 1800 BST on Thursday to respond to the charge.
Mourinho went to sit with the fans, making the day of those he sat next to, but his own frustration was clear. Speaking on Monday, prior to the FA's announcement, Mourinho insisted he did not understand his sending off.
"I don't know the reason why the referee stopped me doing my work," he said. "Until that moment (when he is informed why) I'm not going to make any comment.
"To be with the fans was not funny. It's frustrating. You want to communicate with the players and you couldn't do it."
